I myself have many times used the "point mechanic" while officiating at The American School For The Deaf. Didn't need it in my "masked" (hearing) middle school games over the past two years, with small middle school crowds, and my loud, projecting, baritone "teacher" voice, but some of my "masked" varsity friends (especially female officials) found the "point mechanic" useful in their often crowded and loud high school varsity games.
